For k=1,2,…,2nk = 1, 2, \dots, 2n , set a2n+k=aka_{2n + k} = a_k , and define Ak=1+ak+akak+1+⋯+akak+1⋯ak+n−21+ak+akak+1+⋯+akak+1⋯ak+2n−2.A_k = \frac{1 + a_k + a_k a_{k + 1} + \dots + a_k a_{k + 1} \cdots a_{k + n - 2}}{1 + a_k + a_k a_{k + 1} + \dots + a_k a_{k + 1} \cdots a_{k + 2n - 2}}. Suppose that A1,A2,…,A2nA_1, A_2, \dots, A_{2n} are pairwise distinct; show that exactly half of them are less than 2−1\sqrt{2} - 1 .
